Now let's pick a point away from our current location, and learn how to navigate
to this new point.
1. First, set the Scale to a "smaller-scale" value using the [ IN ] key (you should
see "50 ft" or "120 ft" displayed in the lower left corner of the LCD).
2. Now move the Joystick to the right for about two seconds, so that a small
line and an arrow (the "cursor") appears to the right of your current location.
Release the Joystick at this point, and then angle it downward for about one

your current position.
3. Click the Joystick. A new pop-up box, named 'MARK,' will appear.

cursor, as well as a cursor data box; the cursor Data box, showns the Bearing
("BRG") and Distance ("DST") from your current location to the point you
marked in step 3. This new point, by the way, is called a "Mark." If you orient
yourself at the proper heading (for example, about 125 degrees True) and
start walking, you will be moving in the direction of the new Mark. If you
carefully follow the bearing line that was created when you made the Mark,
you will steer directly toward the Mark.
